I'm sorry about starting a thread for this but I've been waiting for a response in the big question thread with no luck.
Hello, I've been trying to figure this out for a couple hours now searching google, youtube, here etc. I have a couple questions. I want to get an unlocked t mobile note 4 to use on metropcs or straight talk. Are the n910t and n910t3 rootable and bootloader unlockable even if the device is running 5.0.1 or 5.1.1?
thanks for the help.
yes. fully rootable & able to use custom recovery & roms.

So I really miss rooting and modding my phones so I was thinking about do that Chinese method of unlocking my verizon wireless moto x. I just have a couple questions if anyone could answer I'd appreciate it. I can't find much info about 4.4.2 for the verizon moto x because before this unlock discovery, it wasn't possible
1. Once I unlock, is rooting just a simple adb command away?
2. Will I still be able receive android updates via OTA from verizon in the future? Assuming I remain on stock rom and don't flash a rom.
3. My main goal would to be able to tether. So is there a xposed mod to enable tethering on stock rom?
I've only seen this info for DE Moto Xs' and outdated info so I just want to be as updated as possible before I decide to do this.

1. after you unlock the bootloader Rooting is as easy as installed TWRP or CWM then flashing SuperSU flashable sip and your rooted.
2. yes you will still get OTA updates. but in order to use the OTA update you will have to reflash the stock recovery. then take the update and reflash TWRP or CWM and SuperSU and your rooted again.
3.yea there is
hope this answered all your questions.
^^ this
Also, with an unlocked bootloader....you now have a phone that is no different than a dev edition. Aside from your warranty.
There's nothing else special about the dev edition. You keep your warranty on a DE.....that's where its specialness ends.

Yeah thanks a lot! My plan would be to just run stock software but just add the tethering xposed module. But my main concern was receiving future OTAs so it's good to know that I still can. Is it pretty safe to root/unlock this phone? My galaxy nexus was a breeze(obviously being a nexus), but like my S3, there was no flashing back to stock recovery, taking OTA, an than flashing CWM again. At least it wasn't as easy as you described lol I think because there was always concern about whether the update removed ability to root access. Is that possible with this phone or with the unlocking of the bootloader, does that take that variable out? Thanks again. Oh yeah last question, once I'm unlocked, can I lock it back up again and go back to completely stock if I wanted to for some reason? Or is it a done deal.

the unlocking the bootloader process is kind of a pain but not too bad.
custom recovery and root are as simple as one command and one flashable zip
as long as you follow directions and read before doing anything then it should be safe. but rooting and modifying your phone is never %100 save.
when you unlock your bootloader you will always be able to root your phone no matter what android version your on. but it is always possible that they make some crazy change and we have issues.
once unlocked you can relock with with "fastboot oem lock" but that stupid warning msg about you bootloader being unlocked won't go away unless you flash a custom boot screen.
i hope i answered all your questions to your full needs and if you have any more please feel free to ask here or PM me if need be.
Unlocking the bootloader is pretty easy if you have adb setup. Don't forget to backup via helium (download to computer or cloud not local.) since unlocking will delete everything and helium can work without root.
Xposed module is great, less intrusive than flashing roms and you can easily get the tethering, etc.

You can't do that with the i537, it has a locked bootloader.
i think i got my bootloader unloacked, when i start my phone up it shows a unlocked lock with the word custom under it or does everyone have that?

That typically happens when you root the phone. Trust me, if you were ever able to unlock your bootloader you would be entitled to thousands of dollars.

The only thing you can do is use SafeStrap which will allow you to boot custom TouchWiz-based ROMs. It is impossible to install any ROM that requires a custom kernel (CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, AOSP, etc.) on the i537.
So I just got my note 3 n900A att model about 2 months ago. last month the lollipop update pushed to my phone and I was happy but then I started working on rooting. I successfully downgraded my phone to 4.4.4 then to 4.4.2 by following guids on here and on another webiste that instructed me to use odin and then I rooted. Right now I am on Biggons rom and it is beautiful. I have been using safestrap to flash custom roms for this n900A.
I am however interested in trying to obtain a custom kernal and the bootloader being locked is frustrating. To my peasant understanding there isnt a option as of yet to get around the bootloader. please correct me here if I am wrong.
Are any developers working on this? Is it even possible to work on this? Am I just completed F'ed unless I went out and got a different variant of this phone with an unlocked bootloader?
lastly! Im curious if it is possible to turn my phone into a developer edition? that might be just a repeat version of my previous question. excuse my ignorance. I am new to this phone and boot locks n the what not.

Was bootloader unlock ever achieved?
I have the AT&T Note 3 N900A device running on lollipop (OTA). This device has never been rooted. I'm looking to root this but all the tutorials are for devices running 4.x.x and none for lollipop. Has the N900A on lollipop not been rooted yet?

Perfect, thank you. I realize now I will have to downgrade to be able to root.
Is there a way to unlock the SIM on the rooted lollipop. My primary reason for rooting was so I could unlock the device to use internationally. I'm now reading that the regionlock away and other unlock mechanisms will not work for the newer firmwares.

Just call At&t and tell them that you are traveling abroad and will be using your phone with a different SIM, and they'll unlock it for you..
Hey friends, so yesterday i decided to try and root my Moto X 2nd gen.
I first did a full backup using ADB, then i unlocked my bootloader, after the unlocking of the bootloader it restarted and and went to the 'Warning bootloader unlocked' but boots up normally. I set up a few stuff after reboot since everything was wiped. Then i rooted using Kingoroot's desktop client and when it finished i restarted my phone and there it got stuck at the Warning screen indefinitely.
Please help me, i'll be on a trip to the province and i need a usable phone.
Thanks a bunch in advanced fellow users! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

What is your phone model? XT1092/XT1096/XT1097? Who is your carrier?
What version of the OS was running when you tried to root?
If you unlocked your bootloader then Kingroot was not needed to root, there are other methods.

Hi, i got the XT1092 version and my carrier is Globe Telecom ( Philippines )
running marshmallow 6.0
Hope you could help me out!
I don't know why you rooted with kingroot if you already unlocked your bootloader...
You can flash twrp and then super su, this is safer.
Anyway, since you unlocked the bootloader, flash twrp and then flash the stock 6.0 xt1095 version, you can find that in the android development section. It will work on your xt1092, don't worry.
I have xt1096 with this os...
Hope you fix it !

Thanks for the reply! gonna try it out tomorrow!
and by the way Kingo doesn't retain its root after reboot if your device's bootloader is locked so i thought i'd unlock first then use Kingo. but anyway thanks again!

Hey man, happy to hear that!
In my gmail I saw the post befire you edited it and I was like "wow.. what is that problem?!" and then I entered the forum and saw it worked!
You don't need to worry about that change... xt1092 and xt1095 is exactly the same phone, just xt1095 called "pure" and xt1092 is for india or europe carriers.
Well, you don't need to worry at all from that change!
Since you don't need the CDMA verizon offers, you are good.
Well, I'm happy that it's working to you!
My pleasure to help.
